Does anyone have any recommendations on where to pick up a replacement battery. I replaced the battery in mine after the phone had an "accident" and the replacement is rather unreliable. It doesn't always charge to 100% and will often not give an accurate reading.

Thanks :)
 
The problematic part isn't the battery per se, but rather you are almost guaranteed to ruin your phone one way or another opening the phone up thanks to godawful amounts of adhesive used in it's construction.

I've had it open before, I can pretty much guarantee that I'll break the back glass, I did last time but it's only $10 to replace so it's not a deal breaker.
 
This one seems good. I got one from a random reseller on Amazon for my M8 (which also has a sealed battery) last year and it worked well. Just read the reviews to see if they're decent or not.

I applaud you for being able to replace it once already without breaking more than the backing, hah. The newer Samsung phones look like the worst phones ever to repair anything on.
